Bioactivity | Naloxegol-d5 (oxalate) is deuterium labeled Naloxegol (oxalate). Naloxegol oxalate (NKTR-118 oxalate; AZ-13337019 oxalate) is a μ-opioid-receptor antagonist. Naloxegol oxalate inhibits opioid binding in μ-opioid receptors in the gastrointestinal tract and effective for alleviating opioid-induced constipation[1][2]. |
Invitro | Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1]. |
